And they really are wonderfully good that way, delicately sweet with occasional crunches. Lots of people said to eat them with goat cheese, which would be good. But they're good just plain, too. I had seem them at the fancy food market on date night, choosing them because I'd never had them before (such an adventurous eater I've become! Not.). A nice treat from date night--Mama, I saved you a few, too.

Give a Fig
I ate a fig this morning, a black mission fig, which might seem like an ordinary thing to do except I'd never had a raw or fresh fig before, only dried or Newton-ed. And I even googled how and what I could eat it--do you eat the skins? the seeds, if it's not dried? You can do both of those, but most people seem to recommend peeling the skin from the stem.

Do not go too far without a load of TP
ReplyDeletehere's another idea...
ReplyDelete-cut figs in half, drizzle with olive oil, put under the broiler for a bit.
-in the meantime, put a puddle of plain yogurt on a plate, drizzle with honey.
-place broiled figs in the yogurt puddle and then eat them with a spoon.
it all tastes like heaven on earth!
